Post 9
20" high (head only), 21.5" high (on stand) x 4.75" wide x 4.25" deep
$500

Despite its appearance, we believe this Fang post was made to be sold.

This head/post is embellished with metal sheets and tacks.

The figures on these posts are similar to the Bieri figures which were guardians of the enshrined relics of important ancestors. They are notable for their child-like proportions contrasted with a muscular, poised vigilance.
